Participating and getting to know other students in your class is important in order to create the online community at GCU. The Class Wall is a place for students to network and get to know one another. Your first post to the Class Wall will be a biography to share information about you with fellow students.
Here are some things to consider including in your biography:
1. Your name
2. Where you are from
3. Your family
4. The degree program you are enrolled in
5. What you currently do for a living
6. Your hobbies or interests
7. Motivation for pursuing a graduate degree
Your biography should be 250-350 words in length.
Post your biography to the Class Wall by the end of Day 2 of Topic 1.
Once other students have posted their bios, go back to the Class Wall and read them, as well as your instructor’s bio.
Submit your biography to the appropriate assignment drop box as well as posting it to the Class Wall.

This assignment will help you develop an important skill for college and everyday life – time management. For this assignment, you will keep an informal time log in which you note all your activities for 3 days, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Then, you will review your activities to identify times when you were not productive. You should use this information for planning ways to make better use your time.
Part 1: Monitor your time in hourly increments.
1. Use the Time Monitoring Worksheet to write down what you did each hour of the day, starting at 5 a.m. and ending at 10 p.m. Even if you do not get up until 10 a.m., you still need to record 5 a.m. – 9 a.m. as “sleep.”
2. Do not overdo the recording; record the primary activity for the hour. At most, record two activities per hour.
Part 2: Reflection
On day four, review your completed Time Monitoring Worksheet in order to take a serious look at how you use your time each day.
Write a 250 – 500 word reflection on how you manage your time. Include the following in your reflection:
1. What are some things you can do more efficiently?
2. What are the main items/tasks that take up most of your time?
3. Do you see areas in your daily routine where you can make adjustments to become more productive?
4. Do you have any “black holes” that unnecessarily suck up a lot of your time?
